Stock market’s winning streak ends as inflation surges

I can’t recall ever once having seen the name of a market timer on Forbes’ annual list of the richest people in the world. If it were truly possible to predict corrections, you’d think somebody would have made billions by doing it. – Peter Lynch All good things eventually come to an end and last […]

Strong earnings and jobs data lift major stock averages to record highs

The one reality that you can never change is that a higher-priced asset will produce a lower return than a lower-priced asset. You can’t have your cake and eat it, too. You can enjoy it now, or you can enjoy it steadily in the distant future, but not both – and the price we pay […]

Major stock averages all at record highs as earnings impress

Rising interest rates and inflation fears sink stocks

October: This is one of the peculiarly dangerous months to speculate in stocks. The others are July, January, September, April, November, May, March, June, December, August and February. – Mark Twain In another volatile week of trading, the major stock averages succumbed to fears of rising inflation, higher bond yields and the prospect of Federal […]

S&P 500 plunges 5% from record high, rebounds to close modestly higher

Speculation is an effort, probably unsuccessful, to turn a little money into a lot. Investment is an effort, which should be successful, to prevent a lot of money from becoming a little. – Fred Schwed Jr., was a professional trader on Wall Street and author By Friday’s close last week, the Dow Jones Industrial Average […]

Stocks post modest losses despite mostly favorable economic data

It’s very difficult for any particular segment of the stock market to sustain superior performance. The watch word for our financial markets is “reversion to the mean”, i.e. what goes up must come down, and it’s true more often than you can imagine. – John Bogle Although the Dow Jones Industrial Average snapped its 5-day […]
